1:  Asm68k (if i recall the name correctly) is PD.  there is also a demo
version of a 1.0 version of the commercial DevPac assembler, however it has
no include files.
 
2:  The Seka assembler is NOT pd.  even if people tell you so, or it looks
like it.  Seka is copyright by Kuma corporation from germany.  There are a
thousand hacked up versions out there by hackers that look like they are PD,
but they are not.  they are illegal hacks.  besides that, the seka assembler
is a piece of garbage that promotes bad programming habits.

3:  not sure about includeing binary files in Asm68k.. Charlie? you have the
answer? (Charlie Gibbs is the programmer, and is on the net)
